Registration is at John F. Kennedy Drive & 36th Avenue.
* Please note this is a MEMBERS ONLY race. *
SFRP has required our two Spreckels Lake races to be “members only” (Feb 23 and Sept 6). Non-members who appear at the registration table will not be allowed to run but will be encouraged to sign up as members ($23 for a 5K is still a bargain!) It is critical for the DSE to adhere to SFRP’s restrictions in order to maintain a good working relationship with them as we ask for over 25 permits/year from this agency.
In an attempt to encourage more volunteerism, the Board also decided that the Sept 6 Spreckels Lake race will be a “volunteer-only” race, for members who have accrued at least one volunteer point. Please check our website for volunteer opportunities.

Course Description
***This race will be age-graded, which is a method that applies a formula to each runner’s actual time to account for age and gender. Since we can’t stagger start times, the race results preparer will apply a formula to give everyone a fair shot. Now’s your chance to see where you really stand versus the rest of the crowd!***
